Here's a link looks good http://www.japfest.co.uk/visitor-information/

 

Cant wait! Will be my first one

 

Japfest is awesome, i went around there once in my old mazda mx6 with 190bhp a few years back and it was definitely good fun

 

X70cky it's at castle combe buddy , i have been three years running after this year ... the 20 car drift line will look mad just got rember take some oakley as i gt aload of burnt rubber smoke in my eyes last time , u reckon steve baggsy will be there in the japspeed scooby ???

 

what have we got their guys??

has it got trade stands??

ive never been before, not sure if its worth the hassle??

 

its got lots of trade stands e.g bucket seats exhausts samco hoes , cleaning products , alloys .. they have a stand for every japanese car , eg subaru , mitshibishi . maza , nissan e.tc ... and a massive track which has cars on it constantly in a 15 min track session times . also a drift battle .. and mainly of cors aload of nice model maxxis girls

 

20quid on the gate

worth it??

whats access like?? been to pod a few times with the VX show and access is awful!! coombe better???

 

if ur a car performance car fan this is your grace land!!!!! its epic!!!

whos been doing what to there cars to get them ready for the show then? any last min mods squeezed in?? i know i have lol

 

i thought it was exspensive the first time i went in 2009 mate , but it's worth every peenny bud !

i like to go to see all the great cars and track action , and u can get a few ideas for ur own car which u can use and get to meet new people it's amazing , u should go buddy ur love it there i did

 

EVERYONE BE CAREFULLY MIND AS THERE GENERALLY A FEW UNNMARKED PIG CARS TO CATCH PEOPLE SPEEDING RIGHT OUTSIDE THE ENTRANCE

 

not been for a few years but its a good show if its not pissing down with rain , as scoobyols46 said above be careful on the roads outside

i went to lyden hill today to the bhp show and there were 2 unmarked skodas patrolling the bypass pulling peeps over

 

queues can get very long so you want to get there early.
IIRC there are about 3,000 cars on display and over 10,000 visitors so its a pretty big show.

 

Meant to be the biggest jap car show in Europe

 

It should be on for 2 days as there's not enough time to see it all properly in one day and watch track action :-(

 

Been in the past ,good show, much better than the ones at Pod. Trouble is would cost a fortune in fuel these days!

 

Mags were your ears burning, I was there with Tim from ESC and we were dicussing the top service RTS provides. Could of met up mate!

 

Im going up in the proton.

 

i was there till about 12 ish then went home was tired and had a few drinkypoos the night before so the head was abit fuzzy

 

I'm hoping my car will be finished in time, but it's not looking to good at the moment, will be in the Legacy if it isn't

 

Weathers looking good. Hope the exit is better than last year 2 hours to get out one entrance/exit

 

Check out the new AlcaTek ECU and Toucan on our stand!

 

What are you having done?

 

is a good show i go most years i was only there two weeks ago, for the action day. they hold alot of shows throughout the year.

 

After last years parking organising, I wouldn't go again. Over two hours just to get out the car park. They were happy to have plenty of staff sorting the parking going in so they could get your money but there was one guy waving traffic out if the car park towards the end of the day. Just a joke.

 

Totally stripped interior, I only started respraying the interior Saturday, still need to put it back together

Oh and it's being remapped Friday for more performance changes

 

Interior respray? Or should I not ask!

Be interested to hear how you get on after the map! Good luck

 

Caged, two bucket seats and Harnesses for the interior now

I'm on a stand in the main paddock now after Japfest phoned me this afternoon
